Travesty of Jacobean play

Favourite moment: The last few minutes when the husband `nobly' forgave his wife her sin, so that she died happily @

Location:Brecon
Updated for no obvious reason to 1919. Very elaborate and completely unnecessary sets; Jacobeans still used a virtually bare stage. Play wantonly chopped about; many scenes omitted or put in the wrong place. Actors spent breathless minutes hectically running up and down high staircases: entirely unwarranted by the text. Verse rattled out at an equally hurried rate, so that all the verse rhythm was lost. Gratuitous and embarrassing scene inserted showing poor heroine bleeding after consummating her marriage. Must be better ways of portending disaster.
The last, death scene, was moving because only then did the actors stop gabbling, racing about and speak the poetry movingly.
Gravely disappointed after much looking foward to seeing a play studied for degree.
By contrast, `A Dish of Tea with Dr Johnson', for which you also got us tickets, was absolutely marvellous: wish you'd asked for a review of that!
